Researchers have begun mapping the brain at a cellular level. In one sample the size of a grain of rice they found 57,000 cells and 150 million synapses.

10 years to map and 326 to image.

We know so little about the brain and so much at the same time.

This is the reason the brain and it's function is the key to health.

Thoughts become things.

Inward thoughts become outward expressions.

Constantly being rewired and changed.

Did you know: sickness is broken into three categories according to the root of the problem.

1. Physical
2. Nutritional/chemical
3. Emotional

Physical is 10%. Nutritional/Chemical is 10%. Emotions is estimated to be responsible for 80% of our problems.

It is well established that muscle contraction proceeds any disease process. That means even an Emotional disturbance will result in contraction along the spine, something people don't regularly consider or admit to.

I often see practitioners using the next supplement or even a device to promote healing. While these things work, as you can see, that is only 20% effective.

A simple question you can ask yourself is, "Why do I feel tense?"

Tension is a result of muscle contraction and those muscles are responding to stress. A simple way to begin the healing process is to admit this stress even if one "doesnt feel stressed." What is happening is the conscious mind doesn't feel stressed, but the unconscious mind is displaying a different story and that is the only story that matters.

Did you know the first chiropractic adjustment—back in 1895—helped restore hearing? D.D. Palmer's work inspired the One Technique, which is all about simplicity: finding that one key spinal level causing trouble. Everything else? Just compensation. When we read the body’s clues, we can act simply and effectively. Less complexity, more results.

Here is an old article that mentions those Litchfield teams!

Minnesota has seen some incredible starting fives over the years.
